Before you get started, please make sure the WAN access method in your network environment which will be used to connect this VPN Router device to the Internet; by default, EnGenius Cloud-managed VPN Router (ESG-series) is able to assign IP addresses by its internal DHCP server when users connect their client devices to LAN ports (P1, P2, or P3 port).
Reset to default: Press and hold the reset button more than 10 seconds, and the Power/WWAN/Debug/PoE LED will become Flashing. Then, the device will be reset to factory default settings.
The VPN Router can be placed on a flat surface or installed on the wall. Please perform the following steps to install:

Depending on WAN connection type in your network, WAN1 default connection setting is DHCP; if your WAN connection type is DHCP, after you connect Ethernet cable to WAN1 port, you can skip the next WAN1 connection set-up section through the VPN Router's Local Status Page.
If your WAN connection type is Static IP or PPPoE, after you connect Ethernet cable to WAN1 port, you have to access ESG’s Local Status Page to configure WAN1 connection. User can connect a PC to P1, P2, or P3 LAN port, and then open browser and type http://192.168.66.1 or http://local.engenius in URL field., where default login username/password is admin/admin
Note: After ESG has been assigned to an Organization/Network, this local credential will be updated by the Local Credential setting in Cloud Configuration (Configure > General Settings > Local Credential).
Please fill in the IP address config information for your WAN connection {if the uplink switch has tagged VLAN, you need to specify its VLAN ID accordingly).
Please fill in the PPPoE config information for your WAN connection {if the uplink switch has tagged VLAN, you need to specify its VLAN ID accordingly).
Once the device is powered on and ready to connect to the Internet, It will automatically download the default configuration settings from EnGenius Cloud for automated provisioning.
When the VPN Router is connected to the EnGenius Cloud Platform for the first time and assigned to Network, it will automatically check the latest available firmware. If the firmware upgrade is required, it might take 8~10 minutes to complete the process.
Log in to the EnGenius Cloud Platform to configure detailed settings. For more information, please refer to User Manual.
If your VPN Router device cannot be managed by the EnGenius Cloud Platform, there might be a problem with connecting to EnGenius Cloud.
To troubleshoot the connection issue, you may log in to the VPN Router Local Web page:
Make sure that your computer LAN interface is set to DHCP and connect to the VPN Router's LAN port to get DHCP IP address from the VPN Router. By default, the computer should get the IP address in this segment 192.168.66.x.
Under your web browser, enter the URL: http://192.168.66.1 to access the VPN Router's local status page web interface.
You can review the device status after logging into the VPN Router with the default admin account/password (admin/admin).
Check the information on the Device Status and take action if necessary.
Change WAN IP Assignment Settings
By default, the EnGenius Cloud-managed VPN Router's WAN1 setting is set to DHCP client. If you encounter issues with IP address assignment, please double-check the IP setting, including IP address, subnet mask, VPN Router, DNS, and management VLAN. If the issue still exists, you may change your IP assignment from "DHCP " to "Static IP" or "PPPoE" via the following procedure in VPN Router's Local Status page.
Go to the Local Setting section.
Change Configuration setting to "Static IP" or "PPPoE".
Configure the needed settings for the selected type.
Reconnect this VPN Router to the network and try again.
